The three main candidates in Saskatoon’s mayoral race offered their favourite moment from the campaign on Tuesday.

Don Atchison

“I think really it’s been a mosaic of moments. Being able to be with, for example, Filipinos, to be at Africa night, to be to so many different events throughout the city on an ongoing basis all the time and seeing the diversity in our community. I think that’s what’s been so important. And so, for me, it’s not one moment, it’s all the different cultures coming together, how rich we are today. Those are important things and I love being out there with the community and being able to talk about those things.”

Charlie Clark

“One thing that jumps to mind is the high school forum we had. It was the first time we had a high school forum like this in a mayoralty campaign as I understand it. We had 500 students from all different schools throughout the city and they asked great questions. They organized it and there was a feeling that this was all about the future of the city in the air. And I thought all the candidates did well at the forum talking about who they are and why they’re running. It was an inspiring moment for me because that’s where we have to ground all of this work, is building a great city for the next generation. It was just wonderful to be looking out at this incredibly diverse group of students and thinking about what we’re doing, this moment we’re in asking for citizens to support us as mayor for the next generation. That stood out for me.”

Kelley Moore

“In some ways it’s this moment because it’s the culmination of all of the memories, all of the experiences, all the people that I’ve met, the support in all ages, all areas of the city, all socio-economic backgrounds, all cultural backgrounds, it’s been incredibly powerful and it has truly been the most amazing experience of my life and I highly recommend everyone try it at least once.”
